DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

You agree to resolve certain disputes with CapStorm through binding arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”). Arbitration means that an arbitrator, and not a judge or a jury, will decide the dispute. The parties expressly waive the right to bring or participate in any kind of class, collective, or mass action, private attorney general action, or any other representative action. This Arbitration Agreement supersedes all prior versions.

21.1 Covered Disputes. You and CapStorm agree that any dispute or claim between you and CapStorm arising out of or relating to this EULA (a “Dispute”), including any related software, hardware, integrations, services, advertising or marketing communications, your account, or any aspects of your relationship or transactions with CapStorm, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, a Dispute will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of this EULA as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this EULA.

21.2 Exceptions to Arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims brought by either you or CapStorm: (i) small claims court actions, if the requirements of the court are met and the claims are only on an individual basis; and (ii) claims pertaining to intellectual property rights, including trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents.

21.3 Informal Dispute Resolution First. We want to address any Disputes without needing arbitration. If you have a Dispute with CapStorm, prior to initiating arbitration, you agree to mail an individualized request (“Pre-Arbitration Demand”) to ATTN: Legal Department, CapStorm, LLC, P.O. Box 1159, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 324 so that we can work together to resolve the Dispute. A Pre-Arbitration Demand is only valid when it pertains to, and is on behalf of, a single individual. A Pre-Arbitration Demand brought on behalf of multiple individuals is invalid as to all. The Pre-Arbitration Demand must include: (i) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address associated with your account; (ii) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; (iii) a description of your Dispute; and (iv) your signature. Likewise, if CapStorm has a Dispute with you, CapStorm will send an email with its individualized Pre-Arbitration Demand, including the requirements listed above, to the email address associated with your CapStorm account. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) calendar days of when either you or CapStorm submitted a Pre-Arbitration Demand, an arbitration can be brought. If you or CapStorm have a Dispute involving claims under the exception to arbitration in Section 27.2(2), then this Section 27.3 does not apply to such Dispute. You agree that compliance with this Section 27.3 is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and that the arbitrator shall dismiss any arbitration filed without fully and completely complying with these informal dispute resolution procedures.

21.4 Arbitration Procedure. If, after completing the informal dispute resolution process set out in Section 27.3, either you or CapStorm wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must serve the other party with a demand for arbitration. Any demand for arbitration by you shall be sent to the CapStorm Legal Department address in Section 27.3. CapStorm will send any arbitration demand to the email address associated with your CapStorm account or to your counsel, if any. You and CapStorm agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs this Arbitration Agreement. If the FAA cannot apply for whatever reason, then the state laws governing arbitration procedures in the State of Georgia, U.S.A., apply.

Arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (“JAMS”) under its Arbitration Rules. This EULA will govern to the extent it conflicts with the arbitration provider’s rules. If the applicable arbitration provider is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree on an appropriate alternative arbitration provider, then the parties will ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5.

Arbitration hearings will take place at in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, U.S.A. by default, unless you and CapStorm agree upon videoconferencing or another location in writing. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and recoverable costs. Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. An arbitration award shall have no preclusive effect in another arbitration or court proceeding involving CapStorm and a different individual. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve all threshold arbitrability issues, including whether this EULA is applicable, unconscionable, or enforceable, as well as any defense to arbitration. However, a court has exclusive authority to rule on the Mass Action Waiver in Section 27.6, including any claim that the section is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that it has been breached.

If a request to proceed in small claims court (see Section 27.2(1)), is made after an arbitration has been initiated, but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration shall be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s jurisdiction shall be determined by the small claims court. If you or CapStorm challenges the small claims court election in your Dispute, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the small claims court election is unenforceable, then such election shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement as to your Dispute. However, such court determination shall have no preclusive effect in another arbitration or court proceeding involving CapStorm and a different individual.

21.5 Jury Trial Waiver. You and CapStorm hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and CapStorm are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 27.2 above. Court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. Discovery may be limited in arbitration, and procedures are more streamlined than in court.

21.6 Mass Action Waiver. You and CapStorm agree that, except as specified in Section 27.7 below, each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, representative, or mass action basis, and the parties hereby waive all rights to have any Dispute be brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated on a class, collective, representative, or mass action basis. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this Section 27.6 are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and CapStorm agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and shall be pursued in the state or federal courts located in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, U.S.A. This subsection does not prevent you or CapStorm from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

21.7 Arbitration Costs. Your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative, and arbitrator costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable arbitration provider’s rules. If you have a gross monthly income of less than 300% of the federal poverty guidelines, you may be entitled to a waiver of certain arbitration costs.

21.8 Requirement to File Within One Year. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, and notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, any claim or cause of action under this EULA (with the exception of disputes under Section 27.2(2)) must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be permanently barred. The statute of limitations and any arbitration cost deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by Section 27.3 above.

21.9 Severability. Except as provided in Section 27.6 above, if any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to achieve the closest possible intent to the original intent of this section, inclusive of the severed provision.
